Faking

Chapter 34

Right after the phone call, I ran out the door without even locking it. My mind was solely on the news Tristan told me and I couldn't think straight.

How badly was Grayson hurt?

I got into one of Marco's car which he is going to kill me for, but all I cared about is getting to the hospital. It was going to be a long car ride since Grayson is currently at a hospital around his house.

As I drove the car, I kept on speeding up and I could care less about getting caught by a cop. I kept on increasing the speed and changed lanes consistently to go faster than other cars.

My brain was barely making logical thoughts and I only thought about Grayson. Tristan didn't have time to tell me what exactly happened, but he said it was a big accident.

I couldn't bare to think about Grayson getting hurt. I just started dating him and we finally spent some time together. Now, I didn't even care about how ignorant he was. All I cared about was Grayson staying healthy.

He is always the one who helps me break away from hard times and shows me what it is like to really love someone.

What if he is in a coma like Marco was?

I shook my head quickly and tried to think of something else.

Grayson is strong and I know he will be fine like he always is.

After driving for a long time, I finally arrived at the hospital Tristan told me about.

I parked the car in the parking lot and I'm pretty sure I parked the car in a horizontal line instead of a vertical line. This probably made me take up three parking spots instead of one. I blame this on Marco's big car and my lack of driving skills.

I ran out the car and raced to the hospital. When I finally reached the front desk, the lady said, "Miss, are you okay?"

I probably looked crazy because I was still wearing my pajamas with slippers and messy hair.

I responded, "I need to find Grayson! Where is he?!"

All the lady did was try to calm me down. She didn't understand how much I needed to go and see Grayson right now.

I tried to calm down a bit, but it didn't help much because I was still thinking of how badly Grayson was injured.

As I was trying to convince the front desk lady to take me to Grayson, I heard someone's voice.

It belonged to Grace.

I turned around when I heard her voice and she ran towards me. Immediately, she engulfed me by her arms and hugged me.

She was crying.

Oh no.

Tears just came out on their own and I couldn't stop them.

I stuttered, "What-t happened, wait no, where i-is Grayson? I-is he okay?"

Grace just kept on crying while trying to say something. I saw Vincent come towards us while he looked tired. It was my first time seeing a down Vincent and it just increased my nervousness.

Vincent said, "Grayson is fine.. but he just got injured really badly. He's not awake yet, but the doctor said he almost died.."

Okay.. he was okay..

That calmed me down a bit, but I needed to ask Vincent this.

"Is he awake?"

Vincent shook his head and sighed. He replied, "The doctor said he will be awake soon, but he thinks there might be some problem with his head. He was working at a construction sight and the building broke down while he was in it."

He was what?

I said, "He was working? Why? Did you just say he was in the building while it broke?!" My mind was going in a big circle with a bunch of questions coming up. This only fueled my worries and I was shaking from being so nervous.

Vincent looked sheepish and he said, "You should ask Grayson that when he wakes up. He probably wants you next to him right now."

I let the topic slide and nodded. I ran towards the room number Vincent told me. He was trying to calm Grace down. I probably was still crying, but I couldn't find it in myself to wipe it off.

When I arrived in front of the room, I stared at it. It haunted me with sad memories. It reminded me of how Marco got hurt due to me.

Why does everyone I love get hurt?

I sighed and opened the door quietly. In the room, Tristan was sitting by the bed looking worn out.

He looked up and gave me a smile but it turned to a grimace. I didn't like that expression on his handsome face.

I looked towards his back and finally saw Grayson. I didn't like what I was seeing. I could barely recognize him because he was covered in many casts and his face and body was bruised and bleeding. There were many scary looking machines around him and there were bunch of wires attached to him. This only caused me to hyperventilate.

Tristan came to my side quickly and took me to sit down on a couch.

I tried to stay in focus, but I was losing control. I shook away from Tristan and sat on the chair next to Grayson's bed.

I held onto Grayson's cold hand and started crying more while I shouted, "Why are you hurt?! You got to be kidding me! I need you to wake up and tell me this is just a sick joke. You mean so much to me and you haven't told me anything lately. You were working at a construction sight?! When? I don't know anything anymore. I just need you to wake up and be here with me. Grayson please."

I started crying more that my eyes were starting to get blurry.

Suddenly, I felt a movement on my hand. I wiped my eyes quickly with my free hand and looked towards Grayson. He was looking at me very confusedly.

I didn't try to figure out his expression because I could see how he was awake! I tried to hug him, but I couldn't get through all the casts or wires without getting tangled. So, I just kept on shouting happy and angry comments towards him.

His frown only deepened and he seemed to not like how I was touching him. Finally, he spoke with a raspy voice.

He asked, "Who are you?"
